US Lawmakers File "SEC Stabilization Act" To Fire Gary Gensler Authored by Derek Andersen via CoinTelegraph.com, United States Rep. Warren Davidson has introduced the “SEC Stabilization Act” into the House of Representatives, announced on June 12. One of the bill’s main provisions is to fire Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler. Davidson said in a statement: “U.S. capital markets must be protected from a tyrannical Chairman, including the current one. That’s why I'm introducing legislation to fix the ongoing abuse of power and ensure protection that is in the best interest of the market for years to come. It’s time for real reform and to fire Gary Gensler as Chair of the SEC." Davidson declared his intention to introduce the bill earlier this year. He made that announcement in reply to a tweet by Coinbase legal chief Paul Grewal. Rep. Tom Emmer is the co-author of the bill. Emmer said, “The SEC Stabilization Act will make common-sense changes to ensure that the SEC’s priorities are with the investors they are charged to protect and not the whims of its reckless Chair." According to Fox News, the bill would remove Gensler from office and redistribute power between the SEC chair and commissioners. It would also add a sixth commissioner to the agency, disallow any party from holding a majority on the commission and create an executive director position.

Emmer has, for example, called Gensler a “bad faith regulator," and Davidson is the vice chair of the House Financial Services Committee’s new Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology and Inclusion. An SEC spokesman declined to comment when approached by Cointelegraph.

Stop spamming this list. You admitted many times to it being willful, knowing, and wrong. And you have been told to stop by many people before. There's no excuse, and no generosity of opinions left to be had other than fuck you until you stop.

i've been acting crazy for over a decade now. when i realize how old i am, forming new experiences so poorly, it can be scary. [it's okay to keep going or to change the topic. finding simple more relaxing thoughts that are near other thoughts might help.]

Rights group: World Bank, Jordan use flawed formula for aid to kingdom, excluding some poor people | AP News

JERUSALEM (AP) — The World Bank and Jordan are using a “flawed” algorithm to calculate aid for the kingdom’s citizens, excluding some people who are impoverished, hungry or otherwise struggling, a leading rights group said Tuesday. Human Rights Watch reported that the automated program ranks the income and socioeconomic status of Jordanian families, a practice known as “poverty targeting.” The report said that approach leaves out some needy people — such as the owners of modest businesses — increasing poverty in a nation of 10 million citizens. “Many people in Jordan are not getting financial support because their hardships don’t fit an algorithm’s rigid model of what poverty should look like,” said Amos Toh, senior technology and human rights researcher at Human Rights Watch. One Jordanian, identifying himself only as Abu Laith, or “the father of Laith,” said he is among those wrongly cut off from benefits. https://apnews.com/article/jordan-world-bank-poverty-9789664208aa433190b230…

It was a scene worthy of Succession. Silvio Berlusconi’s five heirs hurried to a private hospital in Milan to bid farewell to their ailing father, who had shaped Italy like no one else in its tortured postwar history.
